ODORL'ESS GAS HEATING-STOVE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 21, 1915.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1,,BARRY Ivon, a citizen of the United States, residingat the city of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Odorless GasHeating-Stoves, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in that class of stoves used forheating purposes, in which the ordinary or commercial gas employed forconsumption in furnishing light or heat is used as fuel, and while itappertainsmore particularly to heatingstoves, and will be hereinafterdescribed and explained in connection with such a stove, and is so shownin the accompanying drawings, yet it will be understood that it can beapplied to and used in connection was gas ranges, or cooking stoves, and,that modifications and variations may be made therein without adeparture from the spirit of the invention.

The principal object of the invention is to provide simple and efiicientmeans for the economical consumption of gas in connection with a stove,so as to furnish from the gas and stove, a maximum amount of heat,without the emanations of the usual noxious or disagreeable odors, andit consists in certain peculiarities of the construction, novelarrangement and operation of the various parts thereof, as will behereinafter more fully set forth and specifically claimed;

In the accompanying drawings, which serve to illustrate an embodiment ofthe inventionFigure 1 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view througha stove constructed according to the improvements; Fig. 2 is a bottomplan view of a fragment of the cover for the base ofthe stove taken online 22 of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view, partly inelevation, taken on line 33 of Fig. 1, looking in the directionindicated by the arrows; and Fig. 4: is a transverse sectional viewtaken on line14 of Fig. 1, looking in the direction indicated by thearrows.

Like numerals of reference refer to like parts throughout the differentviews of the drawlngs.

The reference numeral 7 designates, as a whole, the base of the stove,which base is hollow and is provided at or near its corners withsupporting legs 8, which may also be hollow and open at their lowerportions, as shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings. The hollow base 7 isdivided transversely by means of a partition 9, which extends from oneside of the base to the other thereof, and from the bottom of the sameto a point slightly below the perforated cover 10, of the base, whichcover is of sufficient size to extend over the top of the base, and

by preference rests on the upper edges of tween which and the cover 10,the parts 12 are located near or at the ends of the base,

as well as between the side edges of the .plates or covers 10 and 13.The plates or covers 10 and 13 are secured to the base 7 in any suitablemanner, but by preference by means of bolts'li, which are extendedthrough suitable openings in said plates, and through the upper portionsof the legs 8 of the base, as will be clearly understood by reference toFig. l of the drawing. The supplemental plate or cover 13, is providedwith a slot or opening 15, by preference in register with the slot oropening 11 in the perforated plate. The plate 13 carries on its lowersurface a series of strands or wicks 16, of any suitable absorbentmaterial,

which strands or wicks are by preference arranged in transverse rows,yet in staggered relation with one another, as is clearly shown in Fig.2, and project downwardly through perforations 17, formed in the plate10, and have their lower portions immersed in a quantity of water 18,which is held in a compartment 19, of the base and forms a reservoir,which compartment is separated from another compartment 20 in the baseby means of the partition 9, which, as before stated, terminates at itsupper edge below the cover 10 of the base.

Mounted on the central portion of the supplemental cover or plate 13 isa casing 21, which encompasses the slot or opening 15, and has extendedupwardly therefrom a conduit 22, which is substantially globular inform, but with its upper end open.

Horizontally mounted on the upper end of the conduit 22 is a casing 23,which'i n the present instance is shown as being elongated and bypreference has at each of its ends a segmental end piece 24L, whichprovides rests for a radiating drumor casing 25, which may be circularin cross section, or of any otherdesired shape. At the upper portion ofeach of its sides the casing 23 is provided with a longitudinallyextended opening 26 for the passage of the heated fluids. VHorizontallyand 'removably located in the casing 23 is. a perforated plate or sheet27 of asbestos, or any other suitable material, WlllCh, if desired, canbe withdrawn from the casing 23, through a suitable opening,

' closed by a door 28, on one side of said casing. The radiating caslngor drum 1s divided into compartments by, means of transversely andverticallydisposed bafihng partitions 29, 30 an'd 31, which are providedalternately at their upper and lower porsize and number;v

tions with perforations 32,3"of any suitable Mounted on and extendedupwardly from one end of: the supplemental plate or cover 13 of the baseis a Venturi tube 33, which communicates at its upperportion'with ai pcasing"34,in which is rotatably mounted the fan casing 'with said casingand said 'a' vane wheel or fan 35 of the ordinary or well-knownconstruction. The upper part of the'tube 33 and fan casing 34'may, ifdesired,be provided with an extension 36 to form a closure for one endof the radiator '25,- which radiator has communication through anopening in the upper part of tube. The. opposite end of. the radiator ordrum 25*is closed by means of a plate 38,

vwhich has leading from its lower portion a downwardly extending conduit39, Which is secured to the upper surfaceof the supplemental plate orcover 13, at or near its end opposite that on which the tube 33 ismounted. Extended from the lower portion of the conduit 39, throughsuitable openings in the plates or covers 10 and 1 3 is a tube 40,whichterminatesatits lower enda slight distance i 7 above the bottom of thebase and within the compartment 20 thereof.

As shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings, a gas burner 41, which may be of theordinary or any preferred construction, is located within 1 anenlargement 42, of the tube or conduit 33,

and has connection through a gas cock 43,

with a supply of gas (not shown). Leading from the lower portion of theburner 41 and communicating with the cavity thereof is an air supplypipe 4.4, which is extended outwardly through the lower portion of thetube 33, and is used for the purpose-of supplying air to the interior ofthe burner. The lower portion'of the conduit 33 is provided with aseries of openings 45 for the-admission'ofai'r, which openings may beopened or closed or partially so by means of a damper 46, movablysupported on the lower portion of the conduit 33, in any suitable man- 7ner. v. From the foregoing and by reference to the drawings, it will, bereadily understood and clearly seen, that by turning onthe gas by meansof the cock 43, so as to supply the burner 41 therewith, and by lightingthe gas, the heat generated in the conduit 33 or Venturi tube willascend, in-which operation a draft will be created through the conduit33 an'd'fan casing, which will cause the fan 35 to'continuously rotate,thus assisting the heated fluids to pass from the upper portion, ofthe'fan casing; through the opening 37, into'the. drum or radiator 35,in the direction indicated by the arrows, and out of the V I radiator"or drum' through the conduit 39 and tubeeO into the compartment 20 ofthe base,1from which it'will pass between the saturated strands 16,-within "the compart ment 19, and from thence through the openings 11'and 15 into the casing21,from which it will pass through the conduit 22,and out 7 through the openings 26 in the casing '23,

which is located below the radiator or drum 25, as before, explained. Inthis operation the saturated strands or dependingmembers 16 will absorbthe odors of'the gas and cause it to be deposited in the water 18 whichmaybe v'vithdrawn fromthe base by any suitable means as often asdesired. Besides removing the odors-of the gas the saturated members 16will permit theheated fluids to absorb or become impregnated-withmoisture, so that when they are discharged from the stove into the roomthey will contain a healthful amount of moisture insteadof'beingdeleteriously dry, as is usually the case. v 1 Havingthus fullydescribed my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure byLetters Patent is 7 1.
